One of the stars of today, Net-a-Porter required a prestigious design-driven office area covering the complete top floor of the Westfield shopping centre, and three additional distribution buildings in East London. They had a unique, Google earth information system of sales done which needed to be displayed companywide using AMX digital signage, with bespoke software on multiple screens through all areas over the network. Being a fashion house there was a hunger for meetings by multiple personnel, meaning that there had to be ten meeting rooms all with simple in wall controls and resident PC’s, making life easy for the users. The centre of this space was an open Theatre which required a 20 metre high image which was displayed using two HD, high brightness projection systems with “thumping audio”, controlled by the Crestron wireless touch panel. There was also a need for audio to be zoned in different areas with different music, played from both iPod’s and web based players controlled locally from each zone.
Each of the distribution buildings needed the same signage and audio zones throughout them, along with audio zones for the staff, plus a Juke Box in the café allowing the staff to pay for audio tracks from which the money would go to charity – a fantastic idea!
As these areas are heavily used, NAP have a comprehensive maintenance package that they have found invaluable at sensitive times.
